Sunny two-bedroom retirement apartment with lift access and communal facilities.
Top-floor apartment with walk-out balcony overlooking communal gardens
A bright, top-floor retirement apartment arranged for comfortable independent living. The living room opens onto a walk-out balcony with views over landscaped communal gardens and Westmead open space. The modern fitted kitchen includes integrated Bosch appliances, and principal rooms feature underfloor heating for consistent comfort.
Designed by a specialist developer, the development offers lift access to all floors, a homeowners’ lounge with regular social events, a guest suite for visitors, and a 24-hour emergency call line and secure entry system for peace of mind. The master bedroom includes an ensuite shower and a walk-in wardrobe; there is a further guest shower room and useful utility/storage cupboards.
Practical positives include a long lease (about 116 years remaining) and the benefit of the first lease extension at no cost to the lessee. External maintenance, gardening and building upkeep are included in the service charge, and the site is pet friendly.
Buyers should note a few material points: the service charge is relatively high at £4,117.37 pa and ground rent is £495 pa. Broadband speeds are reported very slow despite copper broadband availability. Local data indicates a high crime level and higher area deprivation than average — factors to consider when assessing local services and personal security.
